Help! I have 2 broody hens sharing a nest of a bunch of eggs. Yesterday I found some half-hatched eggs smushed under the hens. They died. Today there is a chick almost hatched, but it had some eggs on top of it that I moved out of the way.
Should I leave it alone to see what happens, or save...
It's been quite a while since I've been here.... so many changed going on. Anyways, I want to get back into my chicken obsession, and will need some hatching eggs soon.
Do you still have to go to the auction here to buy eggs? I liked it better when we could just buy "on our own".
But I'm sure it won't be the last one. I bought a 22 pistol last year and have been wanting to use it ever since. I finally got my chance today when I trapped a coon in the trap. They have been eating my chickens for too long--time for revenge!

Am I better off...

I'm an addict to Petfinder... I always look at the rescue dogs, and it doesn't help that I help with a rescue. WE already had 3 dogs- a collie, a collie/shepherd mix and a chinese crested, but I wanted another crested!
I found a little female not far away that was surrendered by her...
Over the weekend, I went to a local animal swap meet with 2 others from our (small dog) rescue. The month before, I had 2 dogs given to me that needed homes. (One was a breeder, the other a stray) They are now in foster homes and doing well.
Our group met 2 other women from another rescue...
My tom turkey, Vincent, is always a hit at the park's daycamp for kids. I have been taking him to show off for 3 years now. I think he likes it as much as the kids!
We have several classic rock band memorabilia items to sell. Some are originals and some are reproductions Ive noted which are which. If you are interested in any or all of these items, email me and I can get pictures of them. All prices are negotiable, and I will also sell some or all as...
